6 steps to dealing with debt stress

You cannot deal with a problem until you see it.

Signs that debt problems are causing you stress may include:

  • Feeling sad, sick or overwhelmed when you think about debt
  • Finding it hard to sleep or eat
  • Avoiding friends, family and loved ones
  • Finding it hard to focus on work or other tasks
  • Dealing with depression, anxiety or other mental illnesses

Sudden changes to your life can also cause a lot of worry.

Do not be afraid to seek out the support you need. Thousands of people are struggling, for many different reasons. You are not alone, and there is a way forward.

You may be able to get help from your creditors.

Let them know if stress is impacting your payments.

  1. Chat to a health or care professional
  2. Ask them to sign a debt and mental health evidence form (DMHEF)
  3. Send the DMHEF to the people you owe

This lets your doctor share information with them about your mental health
